Wintercrest.
Northcrest.
All the houses in Northcrest held an important meeting led by the Archibald ruler, Norman Archibald.
He sat in his chair with a long table in front of him, long sideways instead of forward. To the right and left of Norman are his wife, Marie Archibald, and Norman's first son, Geoffrey Archibald.
Norman and Marie's two daughters, Violet and Lucie Archibald, filled the other empty seats. The entire family of House Archibald was gathered there to discuss something important, the seizure of Downfall by Telmarath's forces.
"We cannot expect House Rocco. They suck, even when those thick walls can't protect their balls!" complained Andreas Lockwood, the leader of the small House east of Northcrest and a faithful ally of Archibald.
